Bernard Champoux
September 25, 1938 - September 6, 2015
Tribute
On September 6th, our husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and great grandfather Bernie, passed over from this world to the next part of his journey. The last few years of his life here on earth were a struggle and we celebrate his release while feeling deeply the loss of his presence.
Bernie’s life was filled with family. Bernie and the love of his life, Fay, were married for 57 years. In that time they created a clan that included 3 daughters and a son, 12 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. They were closely connected to an extended family that often included friends who became family. Bernie loved gatherings of the clan, Fay’s cooking, card games, dogs, horses, fishing, and enjoyed a very successful career as a heavy equipment operator.
Bernie will be remembered as a generous, dedicated, stubborn, loving, mischievous man with a warm smile and a big heart.
His family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Cairnsmore for their loving care of Bernie in the last months of his life. No services are planned at this time, but a celebration of his life will take place at a later date.

You have always and will always be a part of my life. I continue to look to you for guidance when life gets challenging.
Some of my favourite memories are when we were kids and you would live with us while you worked up North and I felt so special to be able to hang with my Grandpa and play cards and watch TV and wait until you fell asleep so we could steal the remote away. Sending you so much love!
